Description
From vines planted in 1986 and certified by the Old Vine Project, the 22 Families Chenin Blanc 2023 by Riebeek Valley Wine Co. is a delightful expression of Swartland's rich viticultural heritage. This wine greets the nose with fragrant aromas of white pear, yellow apple, and a whisper of acacia blossom, layered with nuances of wet stone and subtle honeycomb. The palate is vibrant and textured, offering flavours of ripe citrus, juicy peach, and a touch of toasted hazelnut, beautifully balanced by crisp acidity. The finish is long and nuanced, with a hint of salinity that evokes the character of its old vine origins.
